Tom Holland Says Uncharted Now Has 'One Of The Best Scripts' He's Ever Read

Sometimes, it seems like we’ll never actually get to see the long-promised Uncharted movie. The adaptation of Naughty Dog’s uber-popular video game franchise has been in development pretty much forever. Luckily, Tom Holland has thrown us a bone -- and confirmed that there’s not only a new script for the film, but that it’s pretty great.

The Spider-Man actor has been tied to Uncharted since last June, back when it was originally scheduled to be released in December of 2020. Since then, the film has seen some upheaval behind the scenes, which seems to have pushed the film back to a 2021 release date. Though Tom Holland is busy with his Marvel commitments, he still seems to be enthusiastic about taking on the role of Nathan Drake, thanks in part to his enthusiasm about the film’s script (via IGN):

Tom Holland also confirmed that the Uncharted adaptation will serve as an origin story for his treasure hunter character, which should help make the film more appealing to fans of the video game as well as newcomers:
